Seasons in Bocas del Toro Panama

When should I take my Panama vacation? Are there specific seasons to consider? Well here in Bocas del Toro Panama we have two seasons. Warm and a little rainy and warm and more rainy.

When are these two seasons? Generally speaking, February through May each year is warm with a little rain. We are in the middle of the rainforest so in order for us to have this lush vegetation we have to have rain, but the amount of rain we get in these four months is on the low side of our average. Then again for September and October we have drier months.

The season of warm and more rain coincides with surf season most of the time. When we have a bit more rain we also have more swells. So in the summer, July and August, we may have more rain and some nice riding waves. December and January are also considered to be wetter months and the surf can get BIG. Check out these photos – most of them are from January 2007 which was pretty good size.

The months of June and November are shoulder months. Some years they side with the warm and a little rain season and some years they side with the warm and more rain season.

Really, when you should take your vacation to Panama boils down to this – when is the best time for you? How much time to you want to allocate for this adventure vacation? Is there a time during your year that is better for you? Pick that time. Our weather and our seasons afford you the opportunity to do whatever it is that you want to do just about 365 days a year.
